Columbia River Gorge

On the morning of my last full day in Portland, Sam and Jon took me on a scenic drive through the Columbia River Gorge. My oh my, was it beautiful! We stopped at three different waterfalls on the way home, each unique and mesmerizing in their own way.

Portland City Sights

I'm not a true ice cream fanatic, but we stopped by Moonstruck Chocolate Cafe where I had the best milkshake I've ever tried! We finished the day at the International Rose Test Garden, one of the most beautiful places in Portland!

Oregon Coast

After a day full of exploring forests, canyons, and lava tubes, we headed west to the coast of Oregon on Sunday morning. Our day was filled with expansive sandy beaches in Seaside, sights of the Pacific Ocean and Haystack Rock at Cannon Beach!

Portland Saturday Market & Mount Saint Helens

When you think of Portland, Oregon, what are the first few things that come to mind? For me, it was living green, hipster, man bun, and beard-- ha! On my first day in Portland visiting my sister and her boyfriend, I saw all of these things as soon as we entered the downtown area. I kid you not, there were plenty of man bunned-bearded hipsters riding their bikes around the city!
